At Hotjar we’re on a mission to build the leading user feedback and analytics platform, with our product being used by over 500,000 sites in 190 countries. As part of our Business Intelligence team, you'll work on the exciting challenges that come with large-scale web traffic and analytics.

We work in an agile and highly collaborative environment, 100% remotely, and challenge the norms of traditional business leadership. Our focus is on true transparency and respect.

We're looking for enthusiastic and resourceful data engineers who are passionate about turning data into insights. You want to help teams make data-informed decisions and take data-informed actions, you have a curious mindset, and you are motivated to understand our business better.

You will:

Take end-to-end responsibility for designing, building, and maintenance of batch and real-time data pipelines and data solutions.

Choose and manage tools and technologies to build and support a robust data infrastructure.

Be responsible for the data modelling and schema design of our data warehouse.

Identify bottlenecks and improve the performance of all our data pipelines.

Ensure all necessary monitoring and backup solutions are in place.

Be one of the primary points of contact within the organization for data pipelines, ETL processes, and complex queries required by the product or for business intelligence purposes.

Requirements

Strong experience using distributed streaming platforms such as Apache Kafka or Amazon Kinesis.

A chance to positively enhance people’s experience online and make the web a better place.

Annual learning and development budget

Several perks designed for your well-being and a healthy work-life balance. (Holiday Budget, Wellbeing Allowance, Working Together Budget, 16 weeks paid parental leave, and much more)

Compensation Range

The budgeted compensation range for this role is €70,000 to €90,000 annually. Ranges are based on market research and are equitable to other roles within Hotjar. The actual compensation offered will be based on relative experience. At this time we are only able to provide official employment status to those located in Malta and Germany (for candidates who don’t require visa sponsorship). All other team members will join as full-time consultants and will be responsible for paying any taxes or applicable fees where they reside.

Please note! Following our value of Be Bold and Move Fast, for this position we are trialling a different format to our usual recruitment process (which you can see on our careers site). We want you to know in advance that information you might have read online about our application and video stages will be slightly different for this role.
